Interesting world, unlikeable MC.

Revisado: 08-28-24

The MC has the mental speed of a slow-rolling square wheel, and plot armor twice as thick as his thought processes. This story reads as the self-satisfaction power trip fantasy of someone who secretly thinks "If only a magic apocalypse would happen, I would be able to show my true worth!". Insert said person as the MC, and have every third thought be a "supposed deep-thought reflection" that is only puddle-deep.

Other than the grandfather-like "here is all the titles you could ever want" plot armor, the system has a good concept. If only the characters were characters and not a 13-year old boy's power fantasy, it would have promise.

This is an incredible, haunting, beautiful, inspiring, thought-provoking tale of 9 men. Simply incredible.

Starts off relevant, but becomes tangential

Revisado: 01-21-24

I really like the parts of the book that actually describe the authors trials and tribulations in the process of acquiring, rebuilding, and sailing his boat. I also like the references to the author's reading library, many of which I have also read. I dislike the tangents that become more and more common the farther in the book the reader dives, such as the whole section that describes the author's belief in the need for human population control, opinions on the exotic pet trade, and advocacy on attempting lucid dreaming. Quite frankly, the stories of practical sailing are enjoyable, but when the author becomes started on a self-rightous tangent, feel free to skip the next 10 minutes to get back on topic.

A fun and lighthearted tale, with ads.

Revisado: 10-21-23

This tale of a grandfatherly man's escape to the sea during the start of the Corona epidemic is a light and enjoyable read relatable to the seaward dreamer. The narrator delightfully captures the character of the author, and the impeccable voice changes are a treat. The only slip up for this tale is the slight self-advertisement of the nutritional products the author sells which breaks the illusion of the reader partaking on the voyage, even if they are not directly mentioned by name. Otherwise, 100% enjoyable and a recommended read.

Great story, sound editing loses a star.

Revisado: 10-21-23

The story is similar to a more modern (90s and 00s instead of 70s and 80s) tale from Larry and Lin Pardey, if not including their lovely charm as a couple, it contains a captivating tale of a man, a dream, and his solo-sail trip around the world. The story itself is great; the only thing that is disappointing is the sound editing. There are approximately 10 or so instances throughout the book where the editors did not cut the lines where the narrator started a sentence, stopped, and restarted his line to better create the feeling, and towards the end of the book the "sh", "ss", and "ch" sounds come across as sharp and peaky, causing the listener to wince and reach for the volume control, even if they haven't had to do so the rest of the book, which shows a lack of equalization throughout the whole narration. The narrator successfully enables the listener to escape into the tale despite these faults, however, and I still recommend it to the seaward dreamer.

Minecraft Dungeons isekai harem word porn

Revisado: 05-09-23

Action scenes aren't bad, world concept is interesting. Contains completely graphic harem word porn fantasy for the lonely nerd, which may be great for some, annoying for others. I didn't particularly care for that.

Too cliche main character, good plot idea/ system

Revisado: 08-24-22

the main character is the cliche predictable plot armor do-gooder with the typical naivety and lack of forethought. I like the system and world theme however, a lot of potential there.

Good for young adults, cringey otherwise

Revisado: 08-05-22

The main character, written as a 25 year old with social anxiety and recent familial loss, comes across as a whiny, cowardly, naive 17 year old with the forethinking and object permanence of a goldfish. The other characters introduced are fleeting and then forgotten, oftentimes cliches in their own right. The most fleshed out characters were the villains/antagonists. Overall, this feels like a shallow retelling of a story that could have been good, but was fumbled.
